About the film:
During the first day of his new school year, a fifth grade boy squares off against a bully and winds up accepting a dare that could change the balance of power within the class. Inspired by Thomas Rockwell’s delicious kid-favorite story.
“A delightfully snips and snails and puppy-dog tails-style movie... kids will enjoy the extravagantly and hilariously repulsive items presented to Billy and the spirit and determination he demonstrates”
—Nell Minow for Movie Mom
